Immerse Yourself in the Epicenter of Airfreight Strategy
Cargo Facts EMEA returns April 28–30, 2026, convening the global freighter community in Brussels for the 8th annual Cargo Facts EMEA. Designed for senior airline, lessor, OEM, investor, airport, and service-provider executives, the event delivers critical insight into the strategic, financial, and operational decisions shaping the EMEA air cargo market.
From redeployed widebody capacity and constrained feedstock to engine shortages, MRO bottlenecks, and capital flows, Cargo Facts EMEA focuses on the realities executives are navigating right now—and what comes next.
A Market-Driven Agenda Built for Decision-Makers
The 2026 agenda is structured to follow the lifecycle of freighter strategy, from market outlook and capacity deployment to fleet build decisions, asset values, and long-term sustainability. Across two full days of panels, fireside discussions, and presentations, attendees will engage in candid, data-informed conversations on:
-
- The outlook for the EMEA freighter market, including pricing power, regional trade shifts, and the impact of redeployed maindeck capacity
- Widebody fleet strategy amid persistent shortages, with updates on new programs, conversion activity, and extending the life of legacy aircraft
- Africa’s expanding role in global air cargo, examining infrastructure, partnerships, and long-term growth potential
- Narrowbody freighter challenges in Europe, from oversupply dynamics to ESG pressures and feedstock constraints
- The engine and MRO crisis, addressing cost escalation, shop capacity, labor shortages, and tariff uncertainty
- Capital and leasing dynamics, including investor appetite, lease availability, and funding for growth across emerging EMEA markets
- Asset values and appraiser insights, with forward-looking perspectives on feedstock pricing, maintenance cost pressures, and valuation outlooks
Each session is designed to deliver practical insight grounded in real-world experience—focused on strategy, economics, and execution rather than theory.
